Onigilly opening up another San Francisco outpost

Today comes word that the Japanese quick service joint — and La Cocina vet — has inked a deal for a new outpost at Four Embarcadero Center.

When it opens, likely in the fall, it will be Onigilly’s second restaurant in two years, following up on its Kearny brick-and-mortar location and its myriad food carts around town. For those keeping score at home, Onigilly currently has a Ferry Building kiosk on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and appears at the Civic Center Farmers Market, the Stonestown Farmers Market, Off the Grid: Fort Mason, Off the Grid: Upper Haight, and Mission Community Market.

Like the other locations, the Onigilly branch on the street level of Embarcadero Center will specialize in onigiri, seaweed-wrapped rice balls with savory fillings; scope the Kearny Street restaurant menu here.
